Yazoo City is the county seat, and is part of the larger combined statistical area that includes Jackson, the capital of Mississippi, located 40 miles southwest. The attractive community known today as Yazoo City was founded in 1824 with the name Hannan's Bluff. It was later renamed Manchester, then changed to Yazoo City in 1841. Yazoo City boasts a population of 11,517, and is known as the "Gateway to the Delta." Its unique location site causes it to "straddle" two types of land that comprise Mississippi's low-land geography. For this reason, the western part of the city is situated in the Mississippi Delta, and the eastern part situated in the loess bluffs that make up most the eastern part of the state.
People who are moving to Mississippi need to consider several items. Beyond researching the cost of living and cultural and climatic differences, other critical items to consider are your financial state (for example, relocation budget and living expenses prior to and during move), regular transportation to, from, and while at your new location, and locating a place to live (and, temporary quarters in the meantime).
With the latter in mind, plan on driving to Yazoo City just to get a feel for the area, its neighborhoods, shopping availability, schools, amenities, hospitals, and financial institutions. The other items you can figure out once you have relocated to your new home.
Regarding the cost of living mentioned above, Yazoo City's is below the state average, as well as below the national average. This means your monthly expenses should be less, and every bit helps.
Yazoo City neighborhoods include City Center, Eden, and North Jerry Clower Boulevard / Graball Freerun Road. These communities roughly make up the entirety of Yazoo City, so hunt thoroughly as there's a lot of area that could contain your perfect new pad!
City Center: Here you'll find more apartments in this suburban neighborhood. Rents are also lower in price than in other Mississippi neighborhoods, and there's a majority of single-family homes.
North Jerry Clower Boulevard / Graball Freerun Road: To the north of the City Center, you'll find this promising area, which is slightly more expensive than other Mississippi areas. Here you'll find both single-family homes and apartment complexes/high-rise apartments, and a mixture of owners and renters.
Eden: By far the largest area, Eden is a rural neighborhood home to many medium-sized (three or four bedroom) to small (studio to two bedroom) single-family homes, and mobile homes. The northwest corner butts up against the Hillside National Wildlife Refuge, for outdoors enthusiasts.
These communities all reflect the obvious pride of home ownership and upkeep, with manicured lawns, flowers in abundance, and many different varieties of trees acclimated to the Southern summers and winters. Neighborhoods are well planned and designed, and all are only a few minutes from City Center and to highways leading elsewhere in or out of the state.

For most visitors the area, the dominant impression of Yazoo City is the sudden appearance of the Delta that stretches to the horizon from the top of the long hill from which Broadway Street descends. The city is not only gifted with a colorful history, but also provides a unique and wide range of opportunities for residents and visitors alike.
For example, the city boasts a private nine-hole golf course that provides 3,046 yards of play from the tees with par 36 challenges. The course is rated at 34.5, and carries a slope rating of 112. A round of golf at this elegant club introduces new-comers to some of the most beautiful vistas available anywhere in the state. It was designed by well-known course developer William Brown, and has been in continual operation since 1926.
Honorable Mentions
